I have and Alienware M17x-R3 with a Nvida 460 graphics card. Will the product fit in my laptop? and how will it compare? faster or slower?

the 460 is a newer stronger card than this, and this is specifically designed for the Dell XPS 1730, so I doubt it work for your needs

By the way.... Any idiot telling you that this is worse than ps4 and you "NEED a Alienware m18x with dual graphics" they are STUPID. The processor in this laptop is MORE than adequate for playing Titanfall (since it's using source engine) and battlefield 4 you can run like Max setting around 25-40 fps

I'm drawing a blank, however I don't remember noticing the main card as being replaceable. I could be wrong. I do think that having either two GT750m or GT755m in SLI will keep you in the game for some time in the future. I do recommend the use of a laptop cooler when gaming. It pushes some wicked heat out the vents. Better than keeping inside though!

It will come with driver software then you can update the driver online , this video card is made specific for the dell XPS M1730

Yes. It will. I have had awhile and my computer is 19 diagonal x 17.5 there is nothing to stop the Alienware laptop u r asking about from working fine on this. I bought awhile back and is still working great. It's very quiet as well!

Be wise to Build one on Dell official site, You don't need need to upgrade any of the parts Just keep it standard Alienware laptop Standard when you get your Built Alieware Laptop Delivered, Mechanics are better off Untampered, AlienWare Is #1 Best HighPerformance for Gaming, I know because I have one myself.

I actually have one of these in a Dell Dimension 4600 and it works beautifully. Not sure why you think it requires a low profile card since the Dimension 4600 is such a big desktop, a full size graphics card will work perfectly.

The gtx780 will be faster but has less memory. The memory will only be a factor if you are running 3 or more monitors. Both cards will handle any game on the market like a champ.

Most likely No! Internal Computer components does vary with respect to Alienware 17 notebooks, which may use either an AMD or a Nvidia graphics card. Both Graphic Cards designs are capable of some form of 3D, however in order to use the Nvidia 3D vision wireless glasses kit requires a Nvidia Graphics Card, while the Notebook monitor would have to be certified for this kit. From my own experience, it would be indicated somewhere on the notebook that it is Nvidia 3D vision Ready. It may work with other 3D formats and this would indicated on the instruction. I recommend that you go directly to the Alienware.com and asked them this question as well as for other options. If your notebook have an Nvidia graphic card on board, it is possible with an external monitor that is Nvidia 3D vision Ready (such as the one I have Acer GN246HL 24"), to use this kit. NOTE: A word of warning: while I do believe that Nvidia 3D vision is in my own opinion, the best design in the consumer market, it still have a long way to go. Screen size does become a factor as well as the source, such as 3D gaming software and 3D blu-ray movies being used to actually get the best 3D experience. Please excuse possible grammar mistakes, I am a terrible writer Hope this helps

It will fit in your AlienWare M17X, if you replace your existing 2.5" hard drive.

Check your motherboard If it has a pic card slot, then it should fit. If you are concerned whether the graphics will be at a steady pace or not, it depends on what power supply you have.

Yes it does, I am currently using it on an M14x R2 Alienware Laptop, only issue with it in my case was that the Num pad sometimes just doesnt work or is very delayed.

No. I think PS4 perform better than 14-Inch Alienware, but if u gonna have 17-Inch then it will be fine.

I personally would not buy this model for extreme gaming. Not enough main memory or graphics memory. You should review Dell's Alienware models for gaming systems.

I don't use this laptop for gaming or imaging purposes. But from what I gather, you generally want a dedicated graphics card if you want to game. This Radeon is built into the AMD A6-5350M CPU, so it's going to be slower. Just figure out what you want to use your laptop for before you buy it. I certainly didn't purchase this laptop for gaming.
